-do realise that my dear, but frankly, I doubt it'll be at all helpful.

[He's leaving the clinic, even if his head is pounding and he really can't see without his glasses, and he's not sure if he would actually have sufficient vision even if he did have them. His bloodshot eyes, the throbbing temple, formerly broken arm still twinging with pain. ( Read more... )

[What? What - what... What?! He was dead. Dead, and gone, and - There's silence. Silence, and ragged breathing as she starts to cry.]

Giles. You - don't -... Don't move. Just stay put.

[She thinks she's hallucinating. Clearly. But she assumes he's at the clinic and, NOC nearly crushed with her strength as she tensely clings to it and keeps it pressed to her cheek, heads out. She runs faster than she's run, ever, in her entire life - and all she can hear is the pounding of her heart in her ears; all she can feel is her feet hitting the ground.

When she sees him, she drops her NOC, and - despite the fact that he's probably in pain and she figures as much - runs to him, wrapping her arms around him in a desperate hug, dissolving into tears.]

Oh, my god, Giles. You're alive.

[He's naturally a little confused; memory spotty but enough to remember the building falling around them and crushing him. That, thankfully, is where the spotty begins. Although hearing Buffy's voice, knowing that she was safe from the collapse, and then seeing her as she appeared, that alleviated most of his worries.

And through the pain, he hugged her back, that relief seeping through him]

Yes-yes, I am, I know this, [even the relief of her being safe couldn't stop the agony] because everything hurts.

[Action] unsharedburden May 6 2010, 16:09:30 UTC

[She jumps back, letting go of him suddenly, face stricken with worry.] Oh, oh god! I'm sorry - I just - [She sniffs, wiping at her eyes.] - I - you were...

[Oh god. The relief, the - but how?]

Willow's here. We'll get you fixed up, okay? And then I want you to spend hours and hours lecturing me on different kinds of demons and the dangers of vampires.

[No, she's totally serious.]

I have your glasses. They're a l-.. lot broken, but... I didn't - get rid of them.

[Action] notabsent May 6 2010, 20:05:33 UTC

No, no, tha- Willow? [He's willing to lean on her, walking slowly, because maybe he shouldn't have left so soon, but he did want to leave those white, white rooms.] Willow, yes. That's nice.

I'm not terribly sure I'm up to lecture standards right now, Buffy, perhaps just a hearty telling off and glare, hmm?

[And then rest, long, long, long rest.] And everyone else, they're, they're, unharmed, yes?

Yes more Rain. Somebody's idea of Paradise is a little bit skewed, if you as me.

[Voice] notabsent May 6 2010, 20:06:13 UTC

Well, not unless someone has a rather wet opinion of Paradise.

[Voice] revengebound May 7 2010, 16:41:31 UTC

Wet, monster filled and near toxic. Some species way out there, maybe.

[Voice] notabsent May 7 2010, 22:05:20 UTC

Quite rightly; I doubt even they would render this a Paradise. Perhaps something of a more bacterial species.

Just a warning; there's some big lizards running around. Better get a stick or something.

[Voice] notabsent May 6 2010, 21:11:23 UTC

As much as I appreciate the warning, [tone of voice: doesn't appreciate anything] I am fairly certain I will manage, thank you.

[Voice] regretsbailing May 6 2010, 21:15:07 UTC

[Clay snorts; tone of voice saying clearly he's not buying the polite words.]

Yeah; you handle that then. Don't blame me when your running from one. From the sounds of it, man. You aren't in such good shape. Thought I'd do the decent thing.

[Voice] notabsent May 6 2010, 21:38:45 UTC

Yes, well, [Can't really argue with that] you try having a building fall on you.

[whiny Watcher, what?] And I had no intention of standing around in the rain waiting for something to-to-to attack an old man, thank you very much.

[Ah, this person doesn't sound so well...] You don't seem to be having the best of luck out of us. Are you okay to be walking around? Especially now...

voice. notabsent May 7 2010, 22:08:46 UTC

Ah, I'm sure that I'll be fine momentarily miss. Thank you.

voice. onegil May 7 2010, 22:36:39 UTC

If you say so... [Worrying Aerith does not stop worrying!] Do you have somebody that you can stay with?

voice. notabsent May 10 2010, 11:10:58 UTC

Ah, yes, yes I do. I think getting her to not stay would be the problem, thank you.
